Winding down to Winter
Last Wednesday was my first Winding down to Winter Yin Class. It was a blissfully warm, comfy and cosy practice on a wild and wet morning. With blankets and bolsters to support body and dimmed lights and soft music to ease the mind. It felt like a safe space to let go of daily life […]

Body Shape Body Size
I have been thinking about this post for a long time. Body Shape, Body size. I think I have been avoiding it because it is so loaded. Talking about weight, shape and size is such a trigger for people, myself included. And once the surface is scratched it uncovers a vast mess of stories, opinions […]

Morning Yoga
This mornings practice was a blissful reminder of why I practice yoga AND why I practice yoga outdoors. Do you ever wake up and just feel bleugh.

Yoga and the Womens Circle
Last night was the second meeting of Honouring the Sacred Space of Creativity-Womens Circle. There is nothing complicated or outstanding about what we do but the simplicity is what makes it comfortable. It was a truly lovely experience sharing space and time with others. We have a cup of tea and take 5 mins each […]

Honouring the Sacred Space of Creativity
I have had an idea for a while that I would like to start a womans circle. I didn’t really know what the group would be for or what it would focus on but the notion has continued to come forward regularly. I knew I wanted it to be a support group for women but […]

Return to the yoga mat
Hello, how are you? Do you fancy a yoga class? I do and here is why. It has been too long since I have practiced with a group and I miss it. I miss the anticipation I feel before the class, I miss the nervousness of meeting new people, I miss the excitement of moving […]
